The Saskatoon Police Service is investigating a truck - train collision and a rollover that both occurred this afternoon.

The train and truck collided at the intersection of 33rd Street and Warman Road rail crossing at about 2:15 p.m. It appears the truck stalled while crossing the tracks. The arms then came down as the train approached. The driver of the truck was able to escape without injury; however his truck was hit by the train.

The crossing at 33rd Street and Warman Road is expected to be blocked, and traffic diverted while further investigation is conducted.

At approximately 2:20 p.m. a single vehicle rollover was reported at Taylor Street and McKercher Avenue. The driver was taken to hospital with what are reported to be minor injuries. No one else was injured in this incident. It is still being investigated. (2007-97402)
